Why are People so Hungry for Upvotes?

54.3k ElGatoVolador  8.6 years ago

I see some people posting teasers of their planes of the fours, I am also guilty of that, but that is ok because you are not upload the plane, But what I hate is seeing is that people upload their planes like "WIP plane!!!" or "Guess What plane" when it is half finished. Why is that necessary a good forum post is enough. This is why some users who are new are yet to be discovered because the already big users just want more and more so the new users who make good planes that make it to the hottest plane section are ignored for the point hungry vermin who upload stages of their planes just for more upvotes and ultimately causes the hottest section to be full of those planes. Stick to posting teasers on the forums and not on the airplane section, if you are a good person dont do this. It makes it harder for new users to get points.

    I have an iPod 6th generation that has 1GB of RAM but it still will not handle nearly 1000 parts in my massive project. But just maybe, I'll consider buying the Mac edition and finish it...@ElGatoVolador

    @Thomasj041 Thats totally ok if you could not finish it, I feel you I used to have an old Ipod that could not handle 100+ parts.

    I made a sneak peek for my coast guard boat... It ended up being to big for my iPod to handle so I couldn't finish it.

    Because People just treat this site like reddit or some other sharing forum and in turn, they turn the game from one where you should be building planes for fun. to see self improvement and just a good game into a "I need to reach a follower quota with planes".

    @TehDuck Not sharing complete work is like not giving your complete effort.

    It's really not why did you even make this post? People don't do it because of greed this is an insult to multiple people including me for sharing our work like wtf?

    Although I'm probably going to start doing that from now on seeing as it's now seen as being greedy ... @Mod

    It's a good Idea but forum posts don't notify you're followers although I've done it before @Mod

    I have never done any WIP posts, planes. I do what I'm planning on doing and then releasing them when they are 100% done. I do agree 100% with this

    @ElGatoVolador some people don't have the right mindset of the game. It's not about the points but about sharing your creation with the whole community.

    They're simply to show you're followers you're upcoming projects I am guilty of this aswell although I didn't do it for upvote's any of my new WIP's are on my alt Acount

    @UnknownNate No excuse a WIP is a waste of space on the website unless you dont upload the complete version then its alright because some other user will finish it. It is just another selfish tactic to post WIP that is not honorable.
